Hi everyone so originally this story was supposed to be 190 chapters but in my YouTube channel it was voted that it should be shorter so now I'm going to combine chapters and it well be 146 chapters so the chapters will be longer. If I'm lucky I'll be able to upload a chapter once a week maybe more well enjoy this chapter.
Also this chapter will have some Japanese words used so here's the translation for them if you don't know Japanese.
Kon'nichiwa ai- hello love
Watashi no ai- my love
Watashi no otoko- my man
"You have Maya your other daughter and you'll start a new life with Kagami. Adrienne and I don't fit in that life so just leave us alone." Mari replied.
"You and Adrienne can never be apart from my life because I love you both with all my heart." Adrien said stroking Mari's cheek. "Believe it or not Mari I'm still in love with you."
Mari pulled back trying not to blush. "You shouldn't be telling me that Adrien."
"It's the truth my only truth." Adrien stated. "I couldn't forget about you Mari and I won't ever be able to forget about you. I still feel your touch on my skin. Inside I'm calling out to you and claim you mine that night I showed you how to love because you didn't know how. You didn't know what was true love."
"Well you were first the one who took that away from me on that terrible night." Mari replied.
"I know but eveer since that first night I have been calling out for you without even realizing it." Adrien stated. "Because you stayed in my heart forever. During the sleepless nights in the words that I should've told you. I love you with all my heart."
"Just be quiet...all of that sounds wonderful Adrien but the truth is that there's another woman." Mari replied. "A woman that you're going to marry because you won't leave her right?"
Alix and Ruby walked in the church. "Good afternoon Father Carlos." Alix said with a smile.
"We didn't come at a wrong time right?" Ruby asked.
Father Carlos shook his head no. "No so what beings you two here? Who are you here for me or God?"
"Well both of you but we're here especially to...well I'm here to ask you if you can marry me and Mathew." Ruby stated.
Father Carlos chuckles. "Of course I will when do you plan it to be?"
"Well Mathew plans to do his first gallery display and he wants us to marry straight after that." Ruby replied.
"Well congratulations." Father Carlos stated and Ruby smiled hugging him.
"Mari I'll leave her if you ask me to." Adrien stated.
"No I won't ever ask you that but what I do ask you is to leave me alone." Mari replied. "Don't ruin my life go live your own life and let me live mine."
"There might not be anything between us Mari but Adrienne our daughter is still involved." Adrien stated.
"Well I don't want to share Adrienne with you so just get the idea that she doesn't exist and don't come back." Mari replied.
"I'm her father Mari Adrienne is my daughter as much as Maya is." Adrien stated. "I have legal and moral rights over her. I care about her."
"How can you care for her if you only seen her for like three times." Mari said sarcastically.
"It's enough knowing that she's my daughter. It's enough with the little times that I seen her to care about her." Adrien replied. "She's the fruit of our love."
"No she's only mine now leave." Mari said sternly.
"I won't give up something that is mine and what I plan to keep." Adrien replied. At that moment Luka walked in the room.
Maya was in the artic with Teddy about to go to the secret garden when Audrey walked over to her. "Maya what are you doing?"
"Grandma Audrey you never come up here you surprised me." Maya replied.
"I have always wondered what you do spending hours up here there's nothing here for you to play with." Audrey stated.
"It doesn't matter I always find something to do with Teddy around." Maya replied.
"It's a shame that I can't play with you two since I still feel sick." Audrey said faking sadness as she sat on the couch that was there. "I feel like no one in this house cares about me starting with your dad."
"What do you mean by that?" Maya asked sadly. "I told him that you were really sad about leaving the house but he had to leave and couldn't continue the conversation."
"See how I'm not wrong? The thing that hurts the most is that I won't be able to see you for a long time." Audrey replied.
Maya hugged her. "Don't cry grandma Audrey you will make me cry to."
"You are still a sweet and naive girl. Fortunately you don't understand how much adults suffer but I assure you that they are very painful. Hopefully you never experience one that is as painful as this one." Audrey stated in fake tears. "You have no idea how much I'm suffering for not being able to be close to those that I love."
"I care about you grandma Audrey and I don't want you to leave either." Maya replied now in tears.
"Here are the rest of the medication the doctor told you to get which are the same that Adrien recommended." Luka stated gesturing to the bag he was holding.
"Thanks Luka." Mari replied taking the bag from him.
"I'll come back tomorrow to see how Adrienne is doing." Adrien stated.
"Why if you said it was nothing to worry about." Mari stated.
"I'll still come everyday to see her." Adrien replied.
"Don't bother just call or don't I'm taking care of her." Luka stated.
"I'll still come." Adrien said giving Adrienne a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room.
"What did he tell you?" Luka asked Mari.
"He still claims rights over Adrienne and I don't want anything that he can give me for Adrienne." Mari replied.
"I told you before Mari that I can give you and Adrienne everything you need." Luka stated. "I learned how to call you by your real name after all Marinette is a beautiful name too."
"I already talked to Father Carlos and he said that we just need to give him the date of the wedding as soon as possible so he can get everything ready." Ruby told Mathew as they walked around the park. "Now the only thing left is for you to ask for my hand."
"Why would I do that if your brother already knows how much we love each other." Mathew stated.
"Well we won't get married if you don't ask for my hand. I don't care that Adrien knows we love each other I want you to ask for my hand and that's final." Ruby stated.
"So Adrienne is better?" Ana asked Mari when she went to visit her to see how Adrienne was doing.
"Well she's still sick but she is better than last night." Mari replied. "The good thing is that her fever hasn't been rising."
"I'm glad I got worried when Mr. Rople told me that there wasn't going to be a profermance because your daughter was sick." Ana stated.
"I told him to find someone to take my place until I went back to work." Mari replied.
"Yes I know but honestly you're not replaceable after all people only go to see the play because of you." Ana stated with a smile.
That night Mathew and his parents went to Adrien's house so Mathew could ask for Rudy's hand. "You most likely know what this visit is for Dr. Agreste." Mathew's dad stated. "My wife and I have the pleasure in asking for the hand of your sister Ruby."
Adrien nodded with a smile. "With pleasure I grant it I know that Mathew and Ruby love each other and I hope they're very happy together."
"Well it seems that you two are officially engaged." Elana told the two lovebirds. "And we should also celebrate your engagement Dr. Agreste when will you and Miss. Tsurugi get married?"
"We don't know yet." Adrien replied.
In two weeks Adrienne was much better and one day as Mari was putting her to sleep Roland walked over to her. "How is she doing?"
"Almost completely better." Mari replied.
"So can you return to the theater? I had the play and rehearsals suspended for days." Roland stated.
"Yes tomorrow I will go back you can reschedule the rehearsals and profermances." Mari replied. "I know that I have an obligation with you and I'll do it as long as I can still take care of Adrienne."
"Her actual name is Mari." Luka told Jacob as they were having dinner at a restaurant. "She was married to my best friend Adrien Agreste and obviously Adrienne is his daughter. I don't know what to do I saw him as a brother and the fact that she lied about almost everything in her life."
"I can understand sir everyone at the ranch formed a swewtspot for her and to find out everything we knew about her was a lie...that's hard." Jacob stated. "Well I have to go see you tomorrow."
Luka nodded as Jacob walks away and he was to distracted in his thoughts to notice someone taking the seat Jacob had. "Kon'nichiwa ai."
Luka looked at the person surprised. "You..."
"It seems like you remember me Watashi no ai." The person said with a smirk.
"Ryuuko..." Luka said softly still in disbelief. "Is it really you?...it can't be."
"Of course it's me what do you think that I'm a spirit?" Ryuuko asked. "Do you want to touch me kiss me to convince yourself that it's really me?"
"Mari no mother wants to lose their daughter."
"You think that it didn't hurt me to give you up? I felt that the last piece of me was leaving with you."
"Please help me God. Soften the feelings of my daughter help Mari forgive me. Let her see me as her mother that had to abandon her thinking it was the best for her." Sabine preyed at the church.
Ryuuko touched Luka's hand but he moved it quickly. "Let me be."
"You move your hand as if love was a snake Watashi no ai. What's wrong don't you like feeling my touch anymore?" Ryuuko asked.
"How is it possible for you to be here?" Luka asked not answering her.
"I have always been following your steps. You can't imagine how long I have been looking for you. I couldn't resist to live far apart heck it wasn't possible for me. I needed your kisses and your touch like how air is needed to breath I needed you passion again." Ryuuko replied. "That's why I have been looking for you nonstop." Luka starts to stand up but Ryuuko stopped him. "Why do you run away you can't escape from me."
"I did it once." Luka stated.
"But you always had me with you. Even if you run away you'll have me in your heart because true love only becomes stronger." Ryuuko replied.
"You dragged me in a hole but I got out by an angel." Luka stated.
"Mari now knows that Tom and I are her parents." Sabine told Father Carlos at the church.
"Yes I know and that there was a strong meeting between Mr. Dupain and Marinette." Father Carlos stated. "She's very good but you can imagine how she is with a strong character just like your husband."
"I was the way Tom didn't know how towards my daughter. I went to see Mari." Sabine replied.
"I don't like angels let's just talk about us." Ryuuko replied.
"We are talking about us since there will never be something between us ever again because I love another woman." Luka stated.
"She didn't forgive me Father Carlos." Sabine continued. "Well she did but as if I was a stranger to her not with love. What's the point if it isn't with love."
"Don't cry Mrs. Sabine God is everywhere there to help." Father Carlos replied.
"I know I prey for him to help me I beg him to guide me to Mari's heart and hopefully Mari understands one day." Sabine stated.
"I treated Mrs. Sabine badly. I wish I could be softer with her but I can't even if I wanted to. First I she abandoned me as a baby and how could she let who is my father kick me out from their house if I was their daughter. Please forgive me God but the feeling is stronger than me." Mari said to herself as she laid in bed. "I can't forgive my parents I just can't."
"Who? That angel that saved you from that hole?" Ryuuko asked with a laugh.
"Yes that angel who is someone very different from you. A woman called Mari." Luka replied sternly.
The next day Mari was getting ready to go to the rehearsal. "What do I do if those people come?" Fu asked. "You know Viperion Adrien and your mother Mrs. Sabine. They might want to come to see Adrienne."
"Well tell them since I'm not here you can't let them in none of them." Mari replied. "Especially Adrien."
"To be honest it pains me with your mother. You should have seen how much love she gave to Adrienne and her tears of emotion." Fu stated. "She's her grandmother."
"I don't see her as my mother how can Adrienne see her as her grandmother?" Mari asked
At that moment the doorbell rang. "Seems like someone from who I mentioned already came." Fu stated.
Mari sighs and went to open the door. "Surprise!" Alix and Ruby exclaimed at the same time.
Mari smiled. "Hi girls please come in."
They walked in holding gifts. "Mari we wanted to come see you plus to give you gifts for Adrienne." Ruby stated.
"Congratulations Mari you hid it very well." Alix said hugging Mari. "Can we see her?"
"Yes Mari I want to see my niece." Ruby added.
Mari nodded and she took them to her room where Adrienne was in her basket. "Aw she's so cute I'll have a baby like her one day." Alix said with a smile.
"She's an angel Mari you must be very proud." Ruby stated. "Though don't you think it's selfish for you to only want her for yourself? I mean it isn't fair that you didn't let us know that you were expecting her. Why did you leave like that Mari? Why didn't you want us to know about Adrienne if she's a blessing plus we're friends."
"Because I was afraid that Adrien would take her from me." Mari replied.
"Do you really think that he would be capable of doing that?" Ruby asked.
"Well I don't know anything about the custody of children and I was afraid." Mari replied. "I know that money and influences can help a lot and I don't have either of them. Adrienne is all I got and I'll defend her with whatever I got."
After Ruby and Alix left Mari put all the new clothes that they gave her in their place. "I hope Adrienne stays calm all day. Though if you see her feeling sick please let me know at the theater immediately. I'll do the rehearsal than I'll stay for the profermance like last time."
"Of course go with no worries." Fu replied.
Mari nodded before starting to leave the house but at the moment Mari opened the door to leave Luka walked in. "What are you doing here?"
After his meeting with Ryuuko he had enough of everything. "I'm here for you. Pack your things quickly we're going to the ranch right now."
Maya walked over to Adrien who was reading in the living room with a sad look. "How's the best dad doing today?"
Adrien looked at her. "Happy since he has the most beautiful-" He noticed her sad look. "What's wrong dear you know I don't like seeing you being sad."
"I came to talk to you." Maya replied but unable to form words she just hugged him tightly before crying.
Audrey walked over to Kagami's room just as Kagami was walking out. "Are you the woman I saw last night sneaking out from the house from the garden?"
"I'm done with all these games." Luka added.
"And who's playing?" Mari asked confused. "Because I'm not."
"You're playing with my love and patience and enough is enough. We're going back to the ranch like it or not." Luka looked over at Fu. "Simon or whatever your name is-"
"My name is Fu." Fu stated.
"Fine right now pack the things of all three because we're leaving." Luka finished.
"Luka I can't go to the ranch right now." Mari replied. "I have to act at the theater. I'm working in a play right now."
Luka thinks about it. "That's right when Adrien took me at the theater that night...it was you on stage. Why would you work as an actress?"
"Because I like doing it." Mari replied. "Plus that's how I earn a living."
"You won't be missing anything by my side. You Adrienne and Fu will have everything needed." Luka stated. "From now on you'll abandoned acting."
"When Is the wedding?" Michael asked Ruby and Mathew who were visiting.
"It must be soon since you guys already started preparing for it." Elsa stated.
"No first we want Mathew to display his gallery so it should be around 6 months." Ruby replied.
"What a shame by that time I won't be with you guys." Michael stated.
"Well what else is new from the group?" Elsa asked trying to change the subject.
"Well Mari has a daughter called Adrienne obviously Adrien is the father." Ruby replied. "I already saw her with Alix and she's so cute."
"What's wrong honey?" Adrien asked Maya more worried than ever.
"I beg you to not let grandma Audrey leave the house." Maya said In tears. "Please forgive her if she did something to you. Please let her stay."
Luka picked up Adrienne. "I'll take Adrienne to the car I'll wait for you there."
"Luka think about what you're doing." Mari stated. "Because you won't leave here with Adrienne."
"Go in front if you want but we'll leaving." Luka replied.
"Daddy I beg you to let her stay." Maya continued.
Adrien sighs. "Maya look I think that you are old enough to understand me. Plus you have always understood the adults since you're a very smart girl. Dear you know that your grandma has always tried to put you against me and not just recently but ever since your mom disappeared in the ocean and we thought that she died. Your grandmother told you that I killed her remember. She also tried to separate us so she could take you and leave me alone do you think that was right of her?"
"No but now she's sick." Maya replied.
"That's what she told us and I don't have any facts to deny it that's why I gave her more time first it was two or three days than I gave her two weeks which ends today." Adrien stated.
"But she's still going to go and I won't see her." Maya replied. "She said that she'll miss me. I know that you'll let me visit her as many times as I want but it isn't the same thing I care about grandma Audrey and I don't want to be separated from her."
"I know dear and if it really matters to you that your grandma stays here at the house I promise to do something about the situation." Adrien stated with a smile.
"Thanks daddy that why you're the best dad in the world." Maya said hugging him again.
Adrien smiled. "How can I not be with the sweetest daughter with a big heart and that's why we all love you."
"Stop with your foolishness Luka give me Adrienne." Mari said sternly. "What you want can't be now give me my daughter back."
"Move aside Mari I'll take Adrienne and you'll follow me." Luka stated.
"Did you forget that she's sick the doctor told me to not move her around now give me to her or I swear I'll attack you." Mari threatened.
"I don't know what you're talking about Mrs. Audrey." Kagami replied.
"It was you. You were dressed all provoked and you hair was all wild." Audrey stated. "You were sneaking out from this house where did you go and for what?" Kagami quickly went back in her room but Audrey followed her. "Was the woman in the garden you? Adrien should know about this."
"No please don't tell him about it he already has enough problems I can't stress him even more." Kagami replied. "Maybe it was me but it actually wasn't me. It was-"
"Are you trying to tell me that woman I saw last night was your supposedly other personality?" Audrey asked in disbelief.
Luka gave Adrienne back to Mari and she handed her over to Fu so he could put her back in her basket. "You're an animal even more so than me. It seems that you don't even have feelings."
"Please don't insult me. I was only trying to presure you to come back with me to the ranch." Luka stated.
"Well after what you did today I don't want to ever see you again now leave." Mari said pointing to the door. "You're a bad man."
"Well if I'm a bad man than you are ungrateful a liar and a flirt." Luka stated. "Have you forgotten everything I did for you? Offering my love for you and saving your and Adrienne's lives."
"For that I'll be always grateful but you went to far this time." Mari replied. "I would leave with any man except for you."
They started arguing and in anger Mari bit Luka on the arm and as instant to feeling pain Luka hit Mari on the nose.
Michael took Elsa's hand. "Mari has a daughter Ruby will have them one day and you...Elsa don't stay alone. Don't stay faithful to my memory and don't mourn for me. Redo your life find love and achieve what we couldn't. I'll feel better if you promise me. That you won't stay alone."
"You want me to be nice to the murderer Isabella?"
"You need to play the role that you are altered by what happened and while that happens we can destroy Kagami."
"So your spilt personality is real?" Audrey asked.
"Yes Mrs. Audrey it's something I can't control. Did you really see me sneaking out from the garden?" Audrey nodded. "I don't know what I did or where I went but it was most likely to harm. Why can't I remember?"
"Hasn't Adrien tried to help you?" Audrey asked.
"You can't imagine how much but he couldn't. Please Mrs. Audrey forgive me I didn't mean to kill your daughter I wouldn't in my conciousness." Kagami replied. "Don't doubt that it's real and please don't tell Adrien about last night I beg of you."
"The best thing you could do is leave Adrien alone." Audrey said before walking away.
"I can't promise you anything since it's not the best time." Elsa stated.
"Elsa if the opportunity for you to be happy arrives please take it. Form a real home be happy have kids and if the man that loves you at the time lets you put my name to one of them. Take him to my grave and please don't stay alone Elsa." Michael replied.
"How could you hit me like that?" Mari asked rubbing her nose.
"I didn't mean to it was a reaction to the pain and to stop the accusation." Luka replied.
"No you did it on purpose knowing that it was going to hurt me." Mari said sternly. "I never thought that you would be such a jerk is that why you came to hurt me?"
"I came looking for you in desperation for love because I didn't want to lose you." Luka replied.
"Well I want you to leave me alone." Mari stated with anger.
"Well since you couldn't understand the love I have for you than fine stay alone bye for good." With that Luka walked away.
Kagami walked over to Adrien who was still in the living room and Adrien could immediately tell something was wrong. "What's wrong Kagami?"
"Adrien why don't you take me to a psychological hospital I will be better off there locked up..." Kagami suggested. "You say that it will cause Ryuuko to come out more but-"
"We agreed that we wouldn't talk about her. Please calm down Kagami there's no reason for you to be anxious I'll cue you." Adrien replied. "I won't leave you."
"Are you sure that you won't leave me Adrien?" Kagami asked.
Mari quickly went to the theater since she was late. "I'm here." Mari told Roland who was on the stage waiting for her.
"You're almost an hour late. Kim has been waiting for you come up here." Mari nodded going on stage. "Adrienne again?"
"Nope sometimes adults make more problems than children do." Mari replied.
Roland nodded walking down the stage. "You been crying right?" Kim asked.
"Is it that obvious?" Mari asked.
"Sometimes tears speak more than words." Kim replied.
"Okay let's start the rehearsal." Roland stated.
"Believe me I'm not going to leave you." Adrien stated.
"But you go to that house very recent to see Mari." Kagami replied.
"Kagami we have a daughter together and I need to take care of her." Adrien stated. "Just don't think about it its two separate things."
"Fine Adrien please lock the door to my room that leads to the garden so it can't be open even from the inside." Kagami begged. "Do it today if possible." With that Kagami walked away.
At that moment Ruby walked over to him. "I'm back gzz I'm exhausted."
"Did you go see Mari?" Adrien asked.
"Yes I saw Adrienne and she's so cute she literally looks like you but with Mari's eyes." Ruby replied. "And I talked with Mari about you though not for long because she had to go to the theater to rehearsal. I told her that she did wrong to try and hide Adrienne and to prohibit you from having the rights as a father and she said that she did it afraid that you would take Adrienne away from her."
"WHAT!" Adrien exclaimed.
Adrien went to the theater to tell Mari that she had nothing to worry about he wouldn't take Adrienne away from her. Mari was rehearsalsing but when she saw Adrien she stopped in her tracks and stared at him. Roland looked over and saw Adrien. "We're rehearsaling." Looks at Mari. "Continue with your line." Mari nodded and continued.
In the end Mari kissed Kim since that was in the script and Adrien didn't like it.
'She's kissing him. She's kissing another man."
"Cut." Roland said and the two broke the kiss. "The kiss needs to be more intense more passionate. And hold it until the curtains close. Tomorrow I want the rehearsal to be by memory. You can go." They nodded and walked away.
Adrien quickly went to Mari's dressing room. Mari barely sat down when someone knocked on the door. "Come in." Adrien walked in and seeing him Mari quickly stood up. "You?...I should have known that it was you since you saw me rehearsal. Why did you came?"
"To talk to you civilly and reasonably." Adrien replied with a stern tone.
"Doesn't sound like it." Mari stated.
"What do you expect after what I saw? Do you want me to be calm?" Adrien asked sarcastically. "After seeing you kiss that man?"
"Well that kiss is in the script and to bad that it bothered you since it was only a rehearsal." Mari replied.
"Well for being a rehearsal it was quite real." Adrien stated. "And Roland even wants more it has to be intense passionate and last until the curtains close. Do you know how many minutes you have to kiss that guy?"
"Did you count?" Mari asked in disbelief. "Don't be ridiculous to make so much drama over a kiss that is in a script."
"A kiss of at least two minutes." Adrien stated. "And which you will do in public. I prohibit it."
"So you did count and do you prefer for us to kiss in private?" Mari asked teasing him. "Adrien just leave me alone you can't prohibit me to do anything."
"Yes I can since I'm the father of Adrienne." Adrien replied.
"Not by law no one knows or need to know." Mari replied. "Adrienne has nothing to do with this and you don't have a right to go between me and my job."
"Well you have to leave your job because I won't tolerate the mother of my daughter kissing another man in public and every day." Adrien stated.
"First it's not every day it's every night. You have your life I have mine and you don't need to be involved in my life." Mari replied.
"Well you'll have to leave your acting job or I'll take Adrienne away from your side." Adrien threatened.
"You can't do that you can't take Adrienne away from my side." Mari said frustrated.
"She's also my daughter and I can especially with a mother that doesn't take care of her daughter well." Adrien replied. "Adrienne was alone when she got sick and while she was running a high fever you were here acting and kissing another man."
"I didn't know that she was going to get sick and don't treat me like...those kind of women because I'm not doing anything bad." Mari stated.
"I'll give you everything you need so you don't need to come back." Adrien replied.
"I don't want anything coming from you. Plus your not worried about Adrienne this is just because of your jealousy." Mari stated frustrated.
"Yes so you know I'm jealous." Adrien replied.
"Well you won't achieve anything by threatening me." Mari stated. "I'll keep acting like it or not no matter what. I take care of Adrienne and educate her. You are no one to tell me how to be a mother."
"I can prove that you don't give as much attention as Adrienne needs because you spend that attention to your job." Adrien replied.
"You won't do anything because you won't take Adrienne away from me first I'll kill you Adrien I swear I will!" Mari sighs taking a deep breath. "I hate you you're such a jerk."
Adrien claps. "Nice scene from the great actress. You're warned decide if you want to dedicate your time to Adrienne or your job." With that Adrien leaves the dressing room.
When Adrien went home he saw Edward Ruby and Kagami at the living room. "Edward I'm so glad that you're here you need to come with me you too Ruby. I'm going to recognize Adrienne as my daughter and I need two witnesses. I'll just go get some paperwork that we need I'll be right back." Adrien walks away basically ignoring Kagami.
Mari walked in her bedroom to see Father Carlos there with Fu and Adrienne. "Father Carlos I'm so glad you're here."
"I found out Adrienne was sick so I came to see how's she's doing." Father Carlos replied. "I'm glad that she's much better."
"Father Carlos Adrien wants to take her away from me." Fu and Father Carlos looked at her shocked. "Adrien went to the theater and saw me rehearsaling and he says either I stop acting or he'll take her away from me."
"That's absurd I resist to believe that." Father Carlos stated.
"Well he did. He said that he can accuse me for abandoning Adrienne because of acting." Mari replied.
"But everything you do is for Adrienne." Fu replied.
"This is why I didn't want him to know about Adrienne I feared this was going to happen." Mari stated.
"Don't worry Marinette Adrien probably only said it to scare you but he won't do it." Father Carlos replied.
"Adrien I don't think what you did giving Adrienne your last name was right since you only did it because of the argument you had with Mari." Ruby stated as she and Adrien walked in the house.
"At least it is official that Adrienne is my daughter made by me and Mari when we were married which had to be invalid because of special circumstances." Adrien replied. "Now they'll do investigations to prove that she is my daughter."
"Adrien Mari had only one fear that you would take Adrienne away from you and I know that you don't plan to do so but you told her that you would and you shouldn't have done that." Ruby stated.
"Ruby I went to the theater to tell Mari that she had nothing to worry about but she was right to mention my jealousy." Adrien replied. "Even though it's just acting I don't like seeing any man near Mari."
Ruby laughed. "You're such a dork Adrien." With that Ruby walked away.
At that moment Adrien saw Kagami standing on top of the stairs.
After an hour Mari was still thinking about what Adrien told her. "Marinette don't worry about the situation with Adrien." Father Carlos stated.
"I can't help it. I'm afraid that Adrien takes Adrienne away from me." Mari replied. "...I know what I'm going to do I'll recognize her only as my daughter. I'll use my last name."
"Your last name is Dupain-Cheng since your only father is Judge Dupain." Father Carlos stated.
"No I'll use the last name I was given as an orphan." Mari replied.
"And what are you going to tell Adrienne when she's older that she's an orphan too that you don't know who her father is? Or that he abandoned her as a baby?" Father Carlos asked.
Kagami walked down the stairs. "I heard everything Adrien. You care about Mari and I hope you don't marry me while loving her. Tell me the truth you have a daughter with her and she probably still has feelings for you."
"Mari used to love me Kagami." Adrien replied.
"Please help me with this Father Carlos." Mari bogged. "So I can officially have her birth certificate."
"I'll try but I won't promise you anything after all since you know who the father is and he didn't abandon her." Father Carlos replied.
"No I'm going to recognize her as a single mother and I'll give her my last name since there's no legal document that says I'm daughter of Judge Dupain and his wife." Mari stated.
Father Carlos sighs. "Fine Marinette I'll see what I can do."
"That all ended though." Adrien added. "A while ago Mari wanted to get back together with me. She came to look for me but she found out that my first wife was alive and our marriage was now invalid. Then she found out Chloe died and I was being accused of it she came back but-"
"I was in your life now." Kagami finished for him.
"This isn't your fault today she told me that she hated me." Adrien replied. "Lately our arguments have been very violent verbally of course. Mari changed a lot and that probably was caused by my friend Luka. She was going to marry him she must had some feelings for him now he's here and he'll probably win her back."
"What if she accepted you?" Kagami asked.
"There's no point in talking about this." Adrien replied. "Mari hates me now I only recognized Adrienne as my daughter because I'm not giving up on her that's it. She's the only thing between Mari and me."
"It's curious that you mentioned this Father Carlos." The man behind the desk told Father Carlos.
"Why isn't it legal for a single mother to register their children?" Father Carlos stated.
"Yes but the father of Adrienne Dr. Ageeste came in earlier with two witnesses his sister Ruby Agreste and a Dr. Edward Fuller to recognize her. Adrienne already has a birth certificate though you will have to tell me her birthday since he didn't know it. Her legal name is Adrienne Emma Agreste Dupain." The man replied.
A couple of months later it was the day before Adrienne's birthday and Mari planned a party for her. She invited all of her friends except for Ruby since if Ruby knew about the party so would Adrien and as much as she wanted Ruby to come she didn't want to risk it especially since Adrien didn't even know when Adrienne was born. Oh and at the moment in Mari's head since she didn't know what Adrien did her name wasn't Adrienne anymore it was just Emma that's what she has been calling her for the last couple of months and she was officially going to announce her name at the party when Father Carlos brings the birth certificate. There was just one little detail she didn't think of. Mari invited Roxie and Roxie not knowing Mari's intentions told Edward about it.
That night Ana was helping Mari get ready for the profermance when Marlena walked in her dressing room with a banquet of Irises. "These were sent to you."
Mari looked for a note but there wasn't one. "There's no note though the person probably knew that I would know who they were from...from Viperion."
"Well you can be sure that he'll come to the profermance than." Marlena stated.
"I learned my mistake Jacob." Luka told Jacob as they walked to the theater. "I'll go slow this time. I need to treat her with sweetness delication and with passion."
Kagami looked at the piece of paper that Ruby gave her. "I have the addresses of Mari's house and of the theater. Should I dare see her? Maybe Adrien won't like that. What could I even say to her? If Adrien cares about her she must be a good person and she might treat me with kindness...someone else told me they loved her because she was an angel but who was it?"
"Yes that angel who is someone very different from you. A woman called Mari."
After his conversation with Maya Adrien decided to let Audrey to stay. He walked in her room to tell her something when he noticed a suitcase still packed. "You're not finished unpacking? I let you stay months ago."
"That suitcase has things I don't need anymore." Audrey stated. "Though can I ask why did you let me stay?"
"I'll be honest if it wasn't for Maya who begged me to let you stay since she would miss you a lot I wouldn't have told you that you could stay." Adrien replied.
"Thank you for letting me be close to my granddaughter." Audrey stated. Adrien nodded and walked away. "You'll regret this Adrien Agreste I'll destroy you and that murderer. I care about you Maya but nothing well stop my revenge."
After the profermance finished everyone stood up to clap like usual. What Mari didn't notice was that Luka was in the front row with Jacob clapping like the rest of the crowd. It wasn't until Mari left the stage and Marlena pointed at him that Mari noticed.
Mari went to her dressing room and sat down. She left the door open so she didn't notice a person walking in until they were close to her. Mari looked up to see a woman with medium length curly blue hair and she was dressed all provoked like. Mari stood up. "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm Ryuuko Mira and I'm looking for you." Ryuuko replied with a smirk.
"Ryuuko?" Mari asked surprised.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ryuuko asked. "Does my name tell you something?"
"Ryuuko the Japanese woman. You're the one that harmed Luka." Mari stated. "What are you doing here don't you live in Japan?"
"So you know me and I came following my man." Ryuuko replied. "Watashi no otoko. Luka belongs to me not to another woman. You better accept it because you can't take him away from me."
"Did you know that tomorrow is Adrienne's birthday and Mari is making a birthday party for her?" Edward told Adrien as they were having coffee in the living room.
"What how did you find out about that?" Adrien asked.
"Mari invited Roxie and she told me." Edward replied. "The most logical thing is that she doesn't want you to go by how things are between the two of of you."
"She's my daughter I at least need to go see her." Adrien replied.
"So you are Mari." Ryuuko stated. "What could Luka see in you you're only a vague girl."
"Well I am more than that I have a daughter." Mari replied.
"Oh really and who's the father Luka?" Ryuuko asked harshly grabbing Mari's arm digging her nails on her skin. "Tell me who the father is."
"It's Adrien Agreste." Mari replied moving her arm away. "What's wrong with you just leave I have nothing to talk to you about."
"Well I have a lot to tell you." Ryuuko stated. "And I won't leave until I'm done. This is a warning it's dangerous to go on the path of Ryuuko Mira. If I find out that you're with my man I'll look for you and you'll regret it."
"That's if I let you. I'm not so easy to mess with." Mari replied.
Ryuuko pushed Mari against a wall her nails digging into her skin and her eyes looked as if she could kill. "I'll kill you if you don't listen to me. So stay away from Luka."
"I have nothing to do with Luka so let me go!" Mari exclaimed trying to free herself.
"Leave Luka alone or you'll know what will happen." Ryuuko threatened before letting Mari go and she left the dressing room.
"I can't believe that she's already one." Alix told Mari the next day as Mari was getting Emma dressed for the party. "It must be nice to have a child."
"You'll have them one day Alix." Mari replied.
"If I do it will be with the man I love though he's far away and I don't know when he's coming back." Alix stated than she noticed the bruises on Mari's arms. "What happened to your arms Mari."
"A jealous woman made these marks." Mari replied.
"Lila Dupain-Cheng." Alix guessed.
"Nope not from that side from the other side Luka. His ex that is crazy." Mari replied. "I feel more pity for Luka now you don't want to mess with her."
"I have always been following your steps. You can't imagine how long I have been looking for you. I couldn't resist to live far apart heck it wasn't possible for me. I needed your kisses and your touch like how air is needed to breath I needed your passion again. That's why I have been looking for you nonstop. Why do you run away you can't escape from me."
Jacob walked in Luka's hotel room with a suitcase. "I'm ready to go back to the ranch sir."
"Have a good trip and remember you and Juleka are in charge." Luka stated.
"How long do you plan to stay here?" Jacob asked.
"I promised myself that I won't leave without the woman of my life." Luka replied.
Adrien walked over to Ruby. "Ruby are you going to Adrienne's birthday party? It's today."
"Today? How could Mari not have invited me? I'm her friend and aunt of Adrienne." Ruby stated.
"Probably because if you knew I would know too." Adrien replied. "But I won't miss an important day for my daughter."
Marlena walked in Mari's room. "Mari someone is here to see you."
"Is it a woman dressed up provoked like?" Mari asked concern as she stood up.
"No the opposite of that." Marlena replied.
Mari nodded and walked to the living room to see a woman waiting for her. "Good morning Mari I want to talk to you I'm Kagami Tsurugi Maya's tutor."
"Have we seen each other before? You seem very familiar to me." Mari stated. "Even that I talked to you before."
"I don't think so I became Maya's tutor after you left and when you came back I was already in the prison." Kagami replied. "I'm assuming you know everything that happened."
"Yes I already know." Mari stated. "Why did you come to see me?"
"I have suffered a lot since I'm a sick woman and Adrien has been very kind to me. You can't imagine the anxiety that I have been through but you are a strong woman willing to move forward and I'm not like that. I'm weak I don't know how to face life and maybe that's why I'm like this because I couldn't deal with a huge abandoning. Has someone you care about died?" Kagami asked.
"No that never happened to me." Mari replied.
"I lost my parents soon after I lost my sister. I was alone with no one to care for and no one to care about me." Kagami stated.
"I know what that feels like but I guess I was lucky to find Fu...more like Fu found me." Mari replied. "He has been like a father to me."
At that moment Fu walked over to them with Emma. "She's ready dear."
"That must be Adrienne your daughter with Adrien right?" Kagami asked.
"Yes...Fu take her back to the room until it's time." Fu nodded and went back to the room with Emma.
"Mari you also have your daughter that must be something amazing something incredible." Kagami stated.
"Yes its a feeling so wonderful especially when you look through her eyes that's full of admiration and light." Mari replied. "A small child that sleeps eats cry smiles and yet you see your whole life in them."
"You are how I imagined Mari. Good noble sensitive no wonder Adrien cares about you." Kagami stated.
"I think that he did care about me even if it was for a short moment. Though you are the woman that will be Adrien's wife." Mari replied.
"Mari you asked me why I'm here and I'm here to ask you if you still love Adrien." Kagami stated. "If you do still love Adrien I won't be an obstacle between the two of you. I'll give him up and leave if you still love him. I'll disappear from Adrien's life."
A doorbell was heard in Mrs. Lahiffe door and when she opened the door she was surprised and overjoyed to see Nino who had to leave far away because of his job. She hugged him. "I thought you would stay far away."
"They asked me if I wanted to come back and since all the people I care about are here I said yes." Nino replied. "So how's Mari?"
"She's fine come in and I'll tell you everything that you missed." Mrs. Lahiffe stated.
"Really would you really be capable of doing that?" Mari asked.
"Yes because all I want is for Adrien to be happy." Kagami replied. "I love him and need him but that doesn't matter. You two loved each other so much and even have a daughter. I know that if it wasn't for me you two would have been together by now. Please don't feel pity for me Mari. If you want me to leave just tell me if you want to be with Adrien than I'll leave. I'll break my engagement with him so you two can be happy. Tell me is that what you want Mari?"
"Dr. Agreste has felt so obligated with the woman that he took responsibility for her treatment because she has a spilt personality and that's why she's free." Nino's mother finished her story.
"If you weren't the one telling me this I wouldn't believe it." Nino stated.
"Thanks Kagami but it's not necessary for you to sacrifice anything." Mari stated. "Everything is better how things are now. Marry Adrien and I hope you two are happy together. I don't need the love of any man I can live on my own. I have strength because I have Emma with me. I have nothing else to ask for. I don't plan to go back to Adrien."
"I really admire you Mari." Kagami replied. "Now I feel less insecure without the doubts that I had. I can now accept something that I didn't want to before. Ruby Maya and Adrien care about me."
"I would like to see Mari." Nino stated.
"Well today is her daughter's birthday and she plans to make a party." His mother replied. "Mari invited everyone in the neighborhood."
"Really are you going?" She nodded. "Can I go with you?" She nodded again with a smile.
After Kagami left Mari sat on a couch and busted in tears. "Teddy." She thinks about all the good memories she had of Teddy. "Maya." She thinks about all the good times with Maya. "Ruby." She thinks about all the good times with Ruby. "That house...Adrien." she thinks about all the good times with Adrien. "That's all in the past now like a lost memory...it's time to say goodbye to everything. Goodbye forever."
